• 2013-06-07: You choose all targets for the spell after revealing cards you want to splice, including any targets required by the text of any of those cards. You may choose a different target for each instance of the word "target" on the resulting spell.
• 2013-06-07: You reveal all cards you intend to splice at the same time. Each individual card can be spliced only once onto any one spell.
• 2013-06-07: A card with a splice ability can't be spliced onto itself because the spell is on the stack (and not in your hand) when you reveal the cards you want to splice onto it.
• 2013-06-07: If all of the spell's targets are illegal when the spell tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen.
• 2021-03-19: Switching a creature's power and toughness twice (or any even number of times) effectively returns the creature to the power and toughness it had before any switches.
• 2021-03-19: Because damage remains marked on a creature until the damage is removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to a creature may become lethal if you switch its power and toughness during that turn.
• 2021-03-19: Effects that switch a creature's power and toughness apply after all other effects, regardless of when those effects began to apply. For instance, if you target a 1/2 creature then give it +2/+0 later in the turn, it's a 2/3 creature, not a 4/1 creature.
